Chapter 45


    Christopher only learned about Skr’s post because Maisy had texted him.


    He hadn’t noticed that Skr had posted at first because he’d assumed she was still upset at him.


    So, he only realized he was doomed when he saw the photo she’d posted.


    She had found out about him and Maisy!


    Christopher felt an unprecedented fear looming in his chest. If Skr had posted it to her social


    media, it meant that she was determined to cut ties with him for good.


    He had always thought that he’d never liked Skr that much. Yet, at that moment, he realized how


    much he couldn’t ept her breaking up with him.


    After restoring antiques for an entire afternoon, Skr washed her hands and left the workspace to


    grab lunch. She only reached for her phone after finishing her meal.


    First, she returned Janine’s, Steven’s, and Charles‘ phone calls and told them not to worry.


    That was when she noticed her best friend, Natalie Jakeman, had sent her several messages.


    Natalie had been Skr’s coursemate from college, so they were close friends. However, Natalie


    had gotten married after graduating. She had been a devoted housewife to her husband for the past


    six


    months.


    Skr returned Natalie’s call.


    The phone briefly rang before Natalie answered. “What on earth is going on, Skye?” she asked.


    Skr didn’t give too many details. She merely ryed how Christopher had cheated on her with


    Maisy.


    Natalie knew who Maisy was. In Skr’s previous life, Natalie hadn’t in Jipsburg City when Skr


    had gotten into trouble.


    When Natalie had returned and tried to visit Skr, she’d learned that the Williams family had


    turned


    Skr away.


    “Way to go, Skye! Great job breaking up with him! He never gave me a good impression. Say, I’ll


    introduce you to some guys one of these days. I bet they’ll definitely be miles better than him!”


    Natalie assured her.


    She knew Skr best, so she could tell Skr was in a good state after hearing thetter’s voice on


    the call.


    It impressed her that Skr could let go of the rtionship when it was necessary. It was just as


    she had expected of her best friend.


    Skr ended the call after exchanging a few more words with Natalle. Then, she checked on the


    other unariswered calls.

    Samuel had called her several times. Christopher and Amelia had also tried calling her. Even


    Skr’s high. school friends had reached out on social media to ask what was going on.


    Skr didn’t answer any of them, nor did she think it was necessary to respond.


    She didn’t think those people genuinely cared about her, save for her family and Natalie. Many only


    texted her because they were eager to watch the drama unfold.


    After being silent for a few seconds, Skr returned Samuel’s calls.


    Thetter was quick to answer. “Skye, delete your post at once. I want you to post a new update,


    saying you were having a bad day and only posted that photoshopped picture because you were


    emotional. I also expect you to apologize to Maisy in your update.”


    Samuel sounded stern. It was as if he was ordering Skr to do it.

    “Who told you the picture was photoshopped?” Skr sneered.


    She had spent her past life trying hard to please the three Williams brothers, just like she’d tried to


    win over Sadie. s, her sincere efforts had been a waste in the end.


    She wondered if the Williamses were all lunatics for bossing her around a lot.


    “It’s not photoshopped? Does that mean it’s real? Why would Maisy get with your boyfriend? It’s fine


    if you’re jealous, but you shouldn’t cross the line!


    “Your boyfriend’s poor and only has good looks to make up for it! Maisy would never be interested in


    him!” Samuel nced at Maisy, whose eyes were on him.


    He hinted for her not to panic. He refused to believe Skr, no matter how she tried to exin


    things.


    Kenny reached out, asking Samuel to pass him the phone, which he did…


    “You were being too brash and acted without any consideration today! How dare you nder Maisy


    with a randomly photoshopped picture?


    “Do you seriously think we’d believe you when you and Christopher previously lived together but


    later got into a big fight over money? If you don’t want to make things bigger and uglier, I suggest


    you do as Samuel says now!” he barked.


    “You


    and your family are lunatics. I don’t care if you guys believe me, but is Maisy not feeling guilty about


    her actions?


    “Well, I was just thinking about how I hadn’t made a big enough deal. Go ahead and call the police,


    then. It’ll save me the time of having to do it.” Skr seethed.
